    open gobo?

    sorry for the newb question, but i was ordering some older chauvet intimidator scanners and see it mentions open gobo... does that mean its blank where I can have my own custom gobo inserted? or something else

    Thanks

    Does it say "Open Gobo" or "Replaceable Gobos."

    Open Gobo means you have an "open" gobo, as in just a circle, which is not replaceable.

    "Replaceable Gobos" means you can install you own.

    What is the full model name of the scanner(s)?

    These are Gobos:



    The last gobo on the bottom right is what's know as an "Open Gobo." Meaning there is nothing there so that it can be used as a spot. You can't put your own gobo in there.

    I also don't believe any older Chauvet scanners had replaceable Gobos.

    cool, thank you for the response guys, it was the dmx-600 intimidator 1.0, and after finding the manual online, no mention of any being replaceable, thanks again

    Yeah those scanners simply have a gobo wheel with colored glass glued over them. Only way to modify gobos is to replace the entire gobo wheel.

    As stated, open gobo stands for a spot.
